Glenveagh National Park and Gaeltacht Tour

From€821.92
360 minutes – 420 minutes
Donegal Town, Ireland

Full description

In the northwest of Ireland, at the very edge of Europe, lies the Donegal Gaeltacht—a wild and storied land where Irish traditions and the Gaeilge language still thrive. As a local, I’ll take you beyond the guidebooks, sharing the hidden corners of the Wild Atlantic Way where I grew up. You’ll hear personal stories, legendary myths, and a few tall tales along the way. Explore Glenveagh Castle and its dramatic past, stand in awe at the mystical Poisoned Glen, and reflect inside the haunting ruins of Dunlewey Church. Sip Irish whiskey at Crolly Distillery and journey through Donegal’s rugged highlands, where generations have cut turf from the vast Atlantic bog. Gaze out over the sea to the Gaeltacht islands, including Tory Island, where my ancestors came from, and hear the stories that have been passed down through generations. This is my home—let me show it to you as only a local can.

Amazing Donegal tour!

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our tour. Henry was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and an exceptional story teller. Everything was well paced and seamless from start to finish. Many great tours available but Donegal was amazing. Highly recommend!

Worth every penny!

Amazing tour! Probably the best part of our trip to Ireland. Henry was such a lovely person to spend the day with and his personal connection to the area added to the experience. We can't wait to go back!

Thank you Henry!

After Henry at Donegal Tour Guide was referred to us, we booked him for a half day tour. He took us to some ancestral sites as well as Glenveagh National Park. He was very flexible when we needed to change plans. We all enjoyed the history and fun facts that he shared. I would recommend him and hope to use him again in the future.

Incredible day trip with Henry to Northern Donegal

Wow! Our one day tour with Henry was exceptional. Our family of four were treated to a fun, informative, and safe tour in Henry's lovely van. We were treated to amazing views, easy pick up and drop off's for a delicious lunch (Henry's suggestion of restaurants was spot on!) and we got amazing photographs to remember the day. I cannot recommend Henry enough, we will treasure our memories of our tour through beautiful Donegal!

Highly Recommend

Three Generations of family traveled to Ireland with our focus on Donegal. We highly recommend Donegal Tour Guide. Henry was fabulous. So incredibly knowledgeable and he knows everyone. He was extremely patient with 83 year old father-in-law who has been studying Irish for about 3 years. Henry answered all his questions. The area is incredibly beautiful. This is an incredible tour and we highly recommend it. You cannot go wrong with Henry. He is extremely professional and will cater tour to your interests.
